ACL Injury and Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2014
Continued development and validation of quantitative imaging and biochemical assessment techniques are critical research priorities to lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of PTOA. There is also a compelling need to advance understanding of how mechanical joint injuries lead to joint degeneration, and to define the roles of acute joint damage and ...

Infographic. Sex differences and ACL injuries

British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2021
Females are 2–10 times more likely to suffer an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury than males when playing the same sports,1 a discrepancy which has garnered significant research effort and warrants further attention. It is critical to understand the sex-related differences influencing ACL injuries to improve research and care. The Sex and Gender

Prevention in ACL Injuries

2011
The anterior cruciate ligament of the knee (ACL) is one of four primary ligaments holding the knee. As more women practice sports such as soccer and basketball, it has become increasingly apparent that females are at a higher risk for non-contact ACL injuries than males.

ACL Injuries in the Female Athlete

Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, 1997
The high rate of noncontact ACL injuries in female athletes has become a prominent and controversial subject. This article attempts to provide insight into this trend in athletic injuries. Anatomic, physiological, and biomechanical differences are discussed as possible causative factors.

ACL Injury Epidemiology

2013
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a relatively common injury with serious short- and long-term repercussions. A number of risk factors, such as female gender or the specific types of sports played, predispose some individuals to ACL injury. There are risk factors that are modifiable, so we can help mitigate this risk through injury prevention ...

ACL Injury Prevention in the Athlete

Sport-Orthopädie - Sport-Traumatologie - Sports Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2011
Abstract This paper is a descriptive manuscript focused on describing the issue of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the athlete and the efficacy of implementing a neuromuscular and proprioceptive sports specific training program to reduce the incidence of ACL ligamentous injuries.

In Vitro Models of ACL Injury [PDF]

open access: possible, 2013
The development of new ACL treatment strategies is often initiated with in vitro research. In vitro (Latin for “in glass”) describes techniques where cells are isolated and cultured outside the body to study their response to a variety of specific environmental cues involving scaffolds or growth factors.

Etiology and Prevention of Noncontact ACL Injury

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 2000
An understanding of the etiology and prevention of noncontact ACL injuries has lagged behind diagnosis and treatment. However, a growing research implicates hormonal, anatomic, environmental, and neuromuscular factors that may predispose athletes, particularly women, to these injuries.

The ACL Response to Injury

2013
The ACL fails to heal after injury. One of the reasons proposed in the past has been that the ACL cells are somehow incapable – that they cannot perform the basic biological processes required for wound healing. As we have seen in Chap. 6, some of these required processes include functions like cell migration into the wound site, cell proliferation ...

ACL injuries and stem cell therapy

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2014
Tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are very frequent injuries, particularly in young and active people. Arthroscopic reconstruction using tendon auto- or allograft represents the gold-standard for the management of ACL tears. Interestingly, the ACL has the potential to heal upon intensive non-surgical rehabilitation procedures.
